Strategery: Late Friday Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Charles Grassley took to Twitter to announce he’d granted Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, another delay after she said, through her lawyer, she would not be ready to testify before his committee by early next week.
The delay was hugely disappointing to supporters of Judge Kavanaugh because they a) don’t buy Ford’s 36-year-old allegations given the suspicion and controversies surrounding them; and b) believe that he will make a fine Supreme Court justice for decades to come.
It’s not clear why Grassley, R-Iowa, caved again. It’s also not clear why he would complain that he believes Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is running the Senate rather than Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., especially since McConnell told a gathering in D.C. on Friday — in no uncertain terms — that Kavanaugh would “soon” be seated at the high court.

I am not a patsy - and have not been since GHWB undid what RR wrought.
I guess you didn’t read my first post... but a lot of FReepers agree with my gut level assessment.
Having said that, I would take him over any communist abortionist who sees the court as a fiat factory.
And I absolutely deplore the way the RINOs are again allowing their masters (DemoKKKrats) to dictate terms while ostensibly out of power."
The mistake we make, which DOES make me and you and all conservatives into patsies, is that we forget that Karl Rove dictates Planned Parenthood monies. And that George W Bush increased Planned Parenthood monies during his eight years.
In other words, we don't think through the fact that a RINO/Unipartier actively are backing Dem abortion causes.
Ask Karen Handel who wrote about it in her book published (oddly) on September 11, 2012.
In my lifetime, going back to Earl Warren, apparently there has been no real way to ensure that a SCOTUS nominee will perform on the court as expected. One can only choose based upon past performance. Perhaps the Swamp gets to some, but there are others that have not disappointed - e.g. Scalia, Thomas.
The most hopeful sign that he is not another "Deep State Bush Stooge" is that he wasn't appointed by Bush, whom apparently was ALWAYS a Deep Stater.
I believe you are both correct, but unfortunately, I have yet to see the intellect in the GOP senate candidates necessary to grasp this. They, like all politicians, are too self absorbed.
“I believe you are both correct, but unfortunately, I have yet to see the intellect in the GOP senate candidates necessary to grasp this. They, like all politicians, are too self absorbed.”
I think this is one difference between the parties. D’s think longer term. When they were forcing Obamacare down our throats, they knew they were going to lose lots of Senate and House seats but could look ahead to 2030 when Obamacare’s failures lead to full-fledged socialized medicine. So it was a huge long-term win for which they too short-term losses.
It seem like Republicans are just looking at the next election in their state for their seat and don’t care much about the enormous strategic value of not having the judiciary be fist of Che Guevara’s revolution in the US for next 20 years.
This is an appointment you shove down D throats the same way they did Obamacare BECAUSE it is so important.
Still think Kavanaugh is a DEEP STATE plant to take down Trump?
Uh... are you somehow so in the bag for THE DEEP STATE that you want to shut down conservatives from expressing their DOUBTS about yet another YALE Bushbot?
I asked you a simple question. Evidently, you prefer not to answer. So noted.
No, you again were mocking me for my honest and forthright reservations about Kavanaugh... again... as if my mind was somehow changed because the Hegelian fake media has stepped up its attacks.
This all rests with Flake and the extent of his TDS Symptoms.
He is the Vote to get Kavanaugh out of Committee. I think Collins will stick with Kavanaugh.
If it gets to the Senate Floor, we can afford to have one RINO defector (traitor) Vote with the Rats making it 50/50, then VP Pence Votes.
If a RINO doesn’t Vote at all (present) because they are cowardly, we are still at 50/49.
Hell of a week.
Not reportedly. Reportedly Jeff Flake is threatening his vote. If the GOP still knew it had the votes it would move swiftly to confirmation.
Abraham Lincoln apparently took your theory to heart and purposely appointed a Deep State elite, Chase, so as to appeal to the better angels of Chase’s nature.
It took 100 years, but the 19th Amendment has undone freedom and free speech.
The headline photo on Drudge Report remains a very strange and possibly photoshopped photo of Kavanaugh sticking his tongue out in ludicrous proportions, supposedly in a high school photo...
Why is Drudge showing this purportedly real photo of Kavanaugh doing the Satanic “tongue sticking out” sign of NWO globalist Luciferians?
Weird. The tongue sticking out is an ancient Satanic sign of lying against the Holy Spirit and the Lord...
which is why so many celebrities and other political liars do it... I think this video has Obama and McCain doing the tongue sticking out sign...

Ignore the music... i just ff’ed through to see what the guy was saying. I don’t believe in ‘reptilians” only demons, as a Christian... but looks like this guy does a good cursory history of the tongue sticking out sign.
Why is Kavanaugh shown doing that satanic tongue sign? Is he yet another Freemason at Yale?
I’m sure you will keep him and his family in your prayers, even if your mind is already made up that he is a Deep State plant.
Just doing the job no one did when John Roberts got nominated...
Our country cannot afford to be ‘John Roberts-ed” again!
So you knew from one look at Roberts that he was a Deep State plant, if that is what you think he is?
The internet was not was what it is today when Roberts was nominated..
Uh, what is your problem with all us normal conservatives not wanting to get “John Roberts-ed” again? The Bush White House had to have know Roberts was “blackmail-able” when they put him forward, btw.
Maybe that’s a Deep State NWO Elite “qualification”? That they have something on you that they can play anytime it is expedient?
Denny Hastert anyone?
I’m not sure what your point is. My discernment tells me that Trump knows what he is doing. Gorsuch has turned out to be a great pick. I have no doubt Kavanaugh will be as well.
